There are factors that are pushing down life expectancy due to the medical gap (including the medical system), but I think that food culture and lifestyle are also influencing them. Thailand, where 90-95% of its citizens are Buddhists, leads a peaceful and disciplined life with high Buddhist ethics, but Thai food (Tom yam-kun, Gapao-rice, etc.) is \u2460 Spices (Chili peppers and herbs): many uses \u2461Oil usage: slightly higher (more stir-fried) \u2462Sugar use: high (sweet and spicy culture) \u2463Salinity: Moderate to slightly higher, marked health effects (trend) and obesity rate: approximately 10-15% And the prevalence of diabetes: about 10%. On the other hand, Japanese food (fish, miso soup, fermented food) in Japanese food culture is characterized by low fat, good dietary balance, and good obesity. As a result, the obesity rate is around 4%, the lowest in developed countries.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"modified_by":"jo-magokoro","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2296"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2296"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2305,"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2296\/revisions\/2305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jo-magokoro.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
